Timex Men's Legacy Tonneau Chronograph

If you enjoy looking stuff up online, this is Timex Legacy TW2W64500. It is an homage to the Omega Speedmaster Mark III from 1972. Timex also sells an homage to the Speedmaster Mark II from 1969. They were Omega’s retail market versions of the Speedmaster Professional watches bought by NASA in 1965 for space missions and worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon, 20 July 1969. Back to the Timex: it has a Miyota JS15 quartz movement, and it’s a 24-hour chronograph which can count up to 24 hours as a stopwatch or countdown timer, something I’m sure you’ve been waiting to do. It has a tachometer ring for quick and dirty speed measurement when you’re racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with your GPS broken. Replacing straps on this case is not as challenging as I expected and the rubber strap is better than I expected. If I wear it more than once a week, I may replace it with an inexpensive leather rally strap for a more authentic vintage look .

Very doubtful but does anyone know if this will come back? I just noticed this today and tried to snag it but it was sold out when I went to go check out.
